Default Group Buy

Ok, I have a cousin who is a Snap-On tool rep, how many of you would be interested in buying a 8mm 12point deep well socket in 1/4" drive for your valve cover bolts?
I think if we get enough people I can get us one hell of a deal, everyone PayPal's me the money, I buy the sockets and then FedEx them to everyone.
What do you guys think?

I will send him a message and ask about the price of the socket.
I think that is the only "special" tool needed for our trucks.

I'm still waiting to hear back from him, he is not a heavy FB user so it might be a day or so.

Well guys I finally heard back...$18.95 per socket, WAY more than I was expecting.
honestly, I would just go to Sears and have them order you one, it's $5.
I knew Snap-On was expensive but I didnt know it was that expensive.
